TripNow

You can use this MCP server to query real-time flight and train ticket information, track dynamic travel statuses, and get smart answers to common travel questions. It aggregates ticketing data, dynamic updates, and a knowledge base to provide fast, accurate travel information for MCP Plaza users.

How to use

You will interact with the MCP server through an MCP client. Start by choosing the tool you need: real-time ticket queries, dynamic status tracking, or knowledge-based travel Q&A. In conversations, describe your travel request clearly, including the origin, destination, travel date, and whether you want flights or trains. The server will respond with the relevant information and can handle multi-turn dialogues to refine results.

How to install

Prerequisites: Python 3.11 or newer must be installed on your system.

Step 1: Clone or download the project directory and navigate into it.

Step 2: Install dependencies from the requirements file.

pip install -r requirements.txt

Step 3: Optionally install dependencies directly via pip if you prefer.

Configure your API key for authentication.

Additional setup and configuration

Two MCP connection options are provided: a local STDIO server and a remote HTTP server. Choose the method that best fits your deployment.

1. STDIO local server configuration uses a Python script.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tripnow": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": [
        "/path/to/tripnow-mcp/api_mcp.py"
      ],
      "env": {
        "tripnow_api_key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

2. Streamable HTTP remote server configuration uses a URL and an API key header.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tripnow": {
      "url": "https://tripnowengine.133.cn/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "tripnow-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}
